Masters LIVE: Rory McIlroy's behaviour blasted as organisers urged to give punishment | Golf | Sport

It had been looking like being a splendid opening round for Rory McIlroy, who found himself four under with just four holes left to play. Two double bogeys later, and the Irishman is back at even par. An understandably difficult end to his opening round, McIlroy wasn't for sticking around after finishing up on the 18th, with the four-time major winner opting out of any post-round interviews. It sparked plenty of controversy online, with fans blasting him for his behaviour. @WVUADburner posted on X: 'These guys are soft as charmin. Bet had he not doubled 2 holes on the back 9 he’d be interviewing.'@konostramus
